As Issa's performance suggests, artists frame our vision, establishing a perspective that situates us in relation to the world. They thereby articulate a horizon that is both literal and metaphorical: They push against the limits of what is perceivable, or imaginable, across space and over time, in the present and into the future.
What would it accomplish, if anything, to put art and artists at the center of intense public debates surrounding conflicts? Though priority must be given to ending assaults, artists play a crucial role in shaping understanding and focusing attention on conflicts.
